This is another one of those things that has been on my list of things to try for a while. We’re having a lazy day today so I thought I’d give it a go.
I taped some sticky-back plastic onto the table sticky side up and gave Eli a tray of buttons and pom-poms and let him get on with it.
It didn’t hold his attention for very long – about 10 minutes which isn’t bad for a 3 year old – but he was definitely interested so we’ll keep it around.
I think buttons are a good choice for this because you can take them off and rearrange them which would be good for a child who wants to make an actual picture.
